Tesla Data Science Jobs (NOW HIRING)

As a Software Engineer within our AI teams, you will contribute to one of the most advanced and widely deployed AI Platforms in the world, powering Autopilot and our Humanoid Robot, Optimus.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design and development of the AI inference stack running neural networks in millions of Tesla vehicles and Optimus. You will collaborate closely with the AI Engineers and Hardware Engineers to understand requirements and co-design the compiler/runtime to extract the maximum performance out of our hardware.

The inference stack is purpose-driven: deployment and analysis of production models inform the team's direction, and the team's work immediately impacts performance and the ability to deploy increasingly complex models. With a cutting-edge co-designed MLIR compiler and runtime architecture, and full control of the hardware, the compiler has access to traditionally unavailable features that can be leveraged via novel optimization approaches for code generation aimed at squeezing the best performance possible out of Tesla's hardware.

• Write, debug and maintain robust software for Tesla AI inference (Compiler / Runtime) across FSD, Optimus, and Data Center use-cases

• Provide AI developers access to performance-critical hardware features through new APIs and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs)
• Design APIs, compiler and runtime features enabling distributed inference on Tesla's hardware
• Support the integration of our deployment stack with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX)
• Keep up-to-date and collaborate with ML/compiler open-source community
• Analyze and debug functional and performance issues on massively parallel systems
• Integrate and deploy AI models in autonomous vehicles, robots, and offline inference

• Demonstratedexpertisewith ML compilers/runtimes (e.g.MLIR, LLVM, XLA, PJRT,TensorRT)
• Experience with the development of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) like Triton,cuTile, Pallas
• Robust familiarity with CPUs,GPUsand modern AI accelerators
• Advanced knowledge of computer architecture, distributed systems, networking, and collectives
• Prior experience working with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX), with a focus on framework internals
• Proficient C/C++ programming C/C++ including modern C/C++ (C++14/17/20)
• Basic Pythonproficiency
• Familiarity with modern ML architectures
• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
